Map Information:

Map Mode: PowerStruggle
Map Size: Large
Map Type: Water
Map File Size: 12.1MB
Latest Map Version: 12.0.0

My Goal:

My goal for this map was really just to make a large, balanced map that is fun to play which looks like a map directly from Crytek. I think I have come as close as I can to achieving this, and any feedback on my efforts would be greatly appreciated.


Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How long did it take you to make from beginning to end?
A: The original version of Archipelago took me just over two weeks, and after revisiting it, I think another five days can be added to that. So all in all, around 3 weeks or about forty hours or more.

Q: Can I make suggestions for future versions?
A: Of course you can, and I'd appreciate it if you did. I am definitely not ruling out any future versions, as I myself are always coming up with new ideas to add.

Q: I've found a glitch/problem with your map, how can I contact you about it?
A: It's probably not a good idea to PM me on these forums, as I don't check PM's. The best thing you can is to contact me one or more of these ways:

Email: Sasstraliss@hotmail.com
Xfire: Sasstralissss
Skype: Sasstraliss

Q: Can I ask for the .cry file for this map?
A: Sure you can, but the chances of you actually getting it are as slim as America's top models on summer vacation.

looks very nice, is this the final version that you were making?

That looks really good, the underwater scenes are done very well.

It is awesome, i'm going to see if the cryengine is easier to map with than Valve's hammer.
